Chalk Up Your Digital Cue for These Pool Games for Android

Pool, Snooker, Billiards, whatever you want to call it, is what I like to think is a perfect sport. It achieves a rare, perfect balance, between the mind and the body. You don’t have to concentrate really hard like chess, or have to move much physically like football.

But, most of us don’t have a pool table lying around for you to use, right?

Wrong! Technology has evolved to such an extent that the fine line between reality and fantasy is blurred. If you want something real emulated on your phone, it’s likely an app like that already exists like that.

Today, we’re going to list the most exceptional pool apps for Android that give you the most realistic digital version of a physics based game that’s difficult to reproduce accurately.

Without further ado, here are the best pool games for Android currently available free on the Google Play Store.

8 Ball Pool

What’s the big deal about this pool game, you ask? Nothing much other than the fact that the big-time online game developers, Miniclip made it! I’m not sure how other developers of pool game apps for Android expect to compete.

Seriously, the sheer amount of players playing this game as we speak is unbelievable! I am not surprised that this game is the highest rated pool app on this list.

You can compete 1 on 1 both locally, and in online mode. Then, there are the tournaments, which take place with 8 participating players.

The main currency of this game is the Pool Coins, which you can earn through gambling in the game and can also be bought using real world money.

You do have to sign up to enjoy all the various aspects of this game and save your progress, or you may not be able to challenge your friends. You can sign up either through Facebook or Miniclip.

The coins can be used to buy cues, with various properties and power-ups. You can also buy new Pool tables, which are completely customizable.

Although the gameplay is not in 3D, this is not a drawback at all. The portrait-based gameplay is well defined, along with real life physics, which is all the best for beginning players.

Pool Bar HD

This is one of the pool games for Android that got into this list because of its more than realistic environment. If you didn’t know that pool is usually played in bars, then you, my friend, have clearly not been watching enough movies or TV shows.

It features the 8-ball and 9-ball pool versions with rules imported from both the US and the UK. You can play locally or online. You can choose from 4 characters, and there are 3 AI difficulty levels.

Apparently, it supports both HD and non-HD displays. Although, there is nothing outstanding about the application, the gameplay isn’t what’s impressive; it’s what’s out of the gameplay that’s awesome. The casual chatter of the crowd, the running television in the background, and the music, all adds to the experience.

Note – The graphics on this game just might be too much for really low-end Android smartphones or tablets to handle.

Whatever is the case, the game of Pool is a game that not most people know about, but, I figure they should. Well, what’re you waiting for? Rack up some conversations about your greatest pool match in the comments below.
